A New Medical Condition- Ritaphilia(sis) Discovered! by lonipeter(m): 8:01pm On Dec 31, 2013
There is a new condition in town, it is called Ritaphilia(sis). A young man, Pedro Ay of Amnier community in the city of Laos, was recently diagnosed and according to experts, he could be the only human with the condition which is perhaps the rarest in medical history.
Doctors said he developed the condition as a result of inexplicably complex genetic-hormonal interactions and he is said to have lived with the condition for about five years. "The ritaphilic cells," explained an expert "acts like a virus, once in the bloodstream (where it is released after it is birthed of the gen-ormonal interactions), it multiplies rapidly and is soon found in all body fluid. Ritaphilic cells infest all organs and cells of the human body, it is at home in the bladder as well as in the marrow, it been found in specimens from Ay's skin epidermis and in strands of his hair." Amazingly, ritaphilic cells are said to have unparalleled ability to mimic cells it has infested and perform there functions when the cells eventually die.
As it stands, Ay will never recover from this condition as it has grown to a stage where it is called Severe Acute Ritaphilia(sis), he will have to live with it all his life and since it is believed to be hereditary, it is expected that all his offsprings will be born with the same condition. Funnyly enough, the condition is, according to the experts, not transmitted sexually but is believed to be mildly and selectively contagious, whatever that means!
